Abstract
This study examines capital/output ratios for Mexico within the framework of Bićanić’s theory of development. Mexico’s declining capital coefficient over the 1939-67 period conforms to Bićanić’s third stage where external and internal economies are experienced. Sectoral investigations indicate declining coefficients in the infrastructure sector are largely responsible for this situation while an aggregate analysis presents significant evidence of internal and external economies resulting from the elimination of “bottlenecks” on the supply side.
